One of the top pure outside shooters on the planet: fearless and accurate from well beyond the 3-point arc & almost automatic from the charity stripe. Has learned to drive when overplayed on the perimeter and can dish effectively to teammates. Takes care of the ball.

Flaws:

Despite his excellence as a shooter, he still spends too much time on the perimeter; would be even more effective if he got to the free-throw line more often. Not really much of a defensive presence (despite good effort) and won't rack up steals.

Career Potential:

Ace perimeter-shooting swingman.

Hawks shooting guard Kyle Korver (nose) is likely out at least three games.

He could be out even longer, especially with Atlanta in firm control of the Eastern Conference. Kent Bazemore will likely start, but Dennis Schroder could see more playing time, even with Jeff Teague in the game.

Impact

Korver only hit two 3-pointers on Friday, but he was 50 percent going 2-for-4. He was 5-for-7 from the field overall with 16 points. He also grabbed six rebounds.

Those were all of the field goals Korver made on the night, as he went 7-of-10 from the floor and 3-of-3 from the line for a team-high 24 points. Korver is arguably having the best season of his career.

Hawks shooting guard Kyle Korver hit five 3-pointers to lead the Hawks in scoring on Sunday.

sportsnetwork.com

Impact

Korver scored 19 points, going 6-of-8 from the field overall. He also had four assists, three rebounds and a steal. Korver will give owners great 3-pointer numbers most nights, but you know what they say: live by the three, die by the three.

He was 7-of-12 from the field, 4-of-4 from the line, and 4-of-8 from deep for a team-high 22 points. Korver also had three rebounds, two assists, one steal, and two turnovers. He needs to hit from beyond to be a productive fantasy option.

He finished with 15 points, five reboundsm three assists, and one turnover. Korver continues to be a nice source of points and 3-pointers.

Hawks shooting guard Kyle Korver went 6-for-7 from the 3-point line as he had another impressive fantasy night.

sportsnetwork.com

Impact

Korver shot 8-of-9 from the field overall and made both his free throws. He also chipped in six rebounds, four assists, a steal and block to go with 24 points. Korver is off to an incredible start this season, shooting over 50 percent from both the field and from the 3-point line.

Hawks shooting guard Kyle Korver is the very definition of a one-category player.

sportsnetwork.com

Impact

Korver is a great shooter of the three-ball, hitting a league-leading 47.2 percent in 2013-14. He's led the league in that category in two of the past five seasons and is a career 42.5 percent shooter from beyond the arc. But you aren't going to get much help elsewhere. We are projection 12.6 ppg, 3.8 rpg, 2.8 apg for 2014-15.

Kyle Korver scores 20 points vs. Pacers | 04/24/2014 10:23 PM

News

Kyle Korver made four 3-pointers and shot 6-of-9 from the field against the Pacers on Thursday for 20 points with six boards, one steal and two turnovers.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

Maybe the Pacers missed the memo, but Korver led the NBA in 3-point percentage this season and he torched them tonight. In particular, he had three of his four treys from the corner, which is his strength thanks to a ridiculous 52.7 percent on his 131 attempts from there this regular season. The sharp-shooting swingman hit a dagger three in the win and the Pacers will have to do a better job of closing out on Korver's 3-point shots.

Kyle Korver stifled in Hawks' Game 2 defeat | 04/23/2014 9:29 AM

News

Kyle Korver finished Tuesday's Game 2 defeat with only three points on 1-of-5 shooting, while being primarily defended by George Hill.

NBA.com

Impact

Pacers coach Frank Vogel tweaked his gameplan by siccing Paul George on Jeff Teague, and the ploy held Atlanta to 85 points on 39.2 percent shooting. "You got to have speed to contain the basketball down there and to scramble to shooters," said Vogel, who also paired C.J. Watson with Hill for long stretches. "That's what we were trying to achieve." Now it is the Hawks' turn to make adjustments for Game 3.

The starters will likely have some limited minutes tonight, so fantasy owners might want to watch out for guys like Jeff Teague, DeMarre Carroll and Kyle Korver. Mike Scott should still be solid and could have a nice line.

Hawks rest Kyle Korver, start Lou Williams | 04/14/2014 11:47 AM

News

The Hawks will rest Kyle Korver on Monday with Lou Williams starting at SG in his place.

Chris Vivlamore on Twitter

Impact

Korver is averaging 35 minutes per game in April but the Hawks are now gearing up for the playoffs and it makes sense to give their veterans some rest in a game with nothing at stake. Korver is shooting just 38.3 percent in the Hawks' past seven games so hopefully the rest will get him back on track.

Kyle Korver hits four 3-pointers vs. Bulls | 04/03/2014 12:12 AM

News

Kyle Korver made four 3-pointers against his former team in a loss to the Bulls on Wednesday for his 12 points with four boards, one assist and four turnovers in 34 minutes.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

He made just one 3-pointer in 27 minutes in his return on Monday and was able to get it going tonight. On the other hand, his four turnovers set a season high and he also had three in his return after missing six games. He'll be fine.

Kyle Korver struggles in return | 03/31/2014 11:14 PM

News

Kyle Korver played 27 minutes in his return from a back injury on Monday, scoring 11 points with two boards, two assists and one 3-pointer.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

He shot just 1-of-6 from deep which is tied for the third-lowest shooting percentage from that range all year. Some rust was certainly expected after his missed six games, so he should have better luck on Wednesday. Keep him in your lineup.

Kyle Korver and DeMarre Carroll starting | 03/31/2014 6:46 PM

News

Kyle Korver (back) and DeMarre Carroll are staring against the Sixers on Monday.

Chris Vivlamore on Twitter

Impact

Korver went through shootaround this morning and will return after missing his last six games. He had been smoking hot in March, making 55.3 percent from deep for 2.9 makes per game. His fantasy owners should have him locked and loaded tonight.

Kyle Korver (back spasms) may return Monday | 03/31/2014 11:19 AM

News

Kyle Korver (back spasms) went through shootaround on Monday and may return to action vs. the Sixers.

Chris Vivlamore on Twitter

Impact

Korver was wearing a starter's jersey and his potential return is a welcome relief for the Hawks, who have dropped all six games in his absence. Shelvin Mack has been filling in at SG but he should head back to the bench if Korver doesn't have any setbacks prior to tip-off.

Kyle Korver (back) may not travel to D.C. | 03/29/2014 11:29 AM

News

Kyle Korver (back) may not join the Hawks for Saturday's road game vs. the Wizards.

Chris Vivlamore on Twitter

Impact

He's been out for over a week and the Hawks haven't provided many updates, so we're considering him shelved until we at least see him back on the practice court. Shelvin Mack and Mike Scott have traded off starts in his absence, but Mack is most likely to get the nod at SG vs. Washington.

Kyle Korver did not travel for Saturday | 03/28/2014 6:21 PM

News

Kyle Korver (back) did not travel with the team for Saturday's game vs. the Wizards.

Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Impact

That means he's basically out even though that announcement has yet to be made. Korver's back injury popped up in warmups back on Mar. 21 and he's missed at least five games. Shelvin Mack will likely start again, but he hasn't been a great option.

Kyle Korver (back) out again vs. Portland | 03/27/2014 6:06 PM

News

Kyle Korver (back spasms) will miss his fifth consecutive game on Thursday.

Chris Vivlamore on Twitter

Impact

The Hawks have dropped four consecutive games without Korver, yet they're still clinging to a two-game lead over the Knicks for the East's final playoff spot. Mike Scott played well at SF in Atlanta's last game, shifting DeMarre Carroll to SG, and we expect to see the same arrangement vs. Portland.

Kyle Korver (back) out again vs. Minnesota | 03/25/2014 3:51 PM

News

Kyle Korver's back spasms will sideline him again vs. the Wolves on Wednesday.

Chris Vivlamore on Twitter

Impact

Korver didn't even travel with the Hawks to Minnesota and it's unclear if he might return for Thursday's home game. His sudden absence has ruined more than a few fantasy owners' playoff hopes, and fill-in starter Shelvin Mack has done nothing to justify owning him over the past week.

Kyle Korver (back) will not play on Monday | 03/24/2014 5:48 PM

News

Kyle Korver (back) will not play against the Suns on Monday.

Chris Vivlamore on Twitter

Impact

It doesn't sound like he even tried to warm up for this game and he's been ruled out about 80 minutes before tip. Korver's outlook for Wednesday vs. the Wolves doesn't sound great and he should be considered questionable at best. Shelvin Mack will continue to start and is worth a look in some formats tonight.

No update on Kyle Korver's back spasms | 03/23/2014 11:45 AM

News

No update has been given on whether Kyle Korver will need to miss additional time due to his back spasms.

Chris Vivlamore on Twitter

Impact

This is unfortunate timing entering the fantasy playoffs, and we'll be sure to give any updates as they come. For now, Shelvin Mack can be penciled in as the starter for Atlanta and he makes for a decent spot start for owners seeking some 3-pointers.

Kyle Korver (back) won't travel for Sunday | 03/22/2014 2:09 PM

News

Kyle Korver (back spasms) will not travel for Sunday's game against the Raptors.

Chris Vivlamore on Twitter

Impact

He was a late scratch for Friday's game vs. the Pelicans and it sounds like he could miss more time considering he won't even travel. The Hawks return back home to face the Suns on Monday and Korver should be considered questionable. Shelvin Mack was terrific in the starting on Friday and is worth a look as a spot-start.

Kyle Korver (back spasms) out on Friday night | 03/21/2014 7:51 PM

News

Kyle Korver (back spasms) will not play against the Pelicans on Friday.

Chris Vivlamore on Twitter

Impact

He was listed as a probable starter, but how has suddenly been announced as out. Korver has not missed a game since Dec. 2 and hopefully this issue won't keep him out beyond tonight. He should be considered questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Raptors.

Kyle Korver scores 18 in win over Nuggets | 03/15/2014 10:20 PM

News

Kyle Korver hit 6-of-8 shots and all four of his 3-point attempts for 18 points, four rebounds, an assist and a steal in Saturday's win.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

Korver is on fire right now, hitting 14 of his last 16 attempts from downtown and the Hawks play four times per week for the next three.

Kyle Korver hits three triples vs. Bucks | 03/13/2014 11:32 PM

News

Kyle Korver hit three 3-pointers on his way to 15 points vs. the Bucks on Thursday with two rebounds, one assist, two steals and one turnover in 35 minutes.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

He was a no-show in the first half, then turned it on to help get the Hawks a much-needed win. Korver is coming off a 26-point game on Monday and he has at least three treys in each of his last three games. There are not many better at getting on balance for shots and he also is tremendous at moving without the ball.

Korver scores 26 points against old Jazz team | 03/11/2014 1:39 AM

News

Kyle Korver hit 8-of-12 shots and all four of his 3-point attempts to finish with 26 points, two rebounds and two steals in Monday's win over the Jazz.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

Korver also hit all six of his free throws and it's not surprising that the end of his streak has brought a fresh approach to the game. He has been perfect from deep over his last two games and looks to finish his top 30-40 season on a high note.

Kyle Korver posts big line on Saturday | 03/09/2014 1:21 AM

News

Kyle Korver, who saw his 3-point streak end on Wednesday, hit 6-of-7 shots and 3-of-3 3-pointers for 17 points, four rebounds, six assists and two steals in Saturday's loss to the Clippers.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

Korver had a great line tonight and is back on track. And with the Hawks having a great schedule from here on in, deserves to be in a lot of fantasy lineups the rest of the way. He had seven points and a 3-pointer on Friday, meaning his new streak for 3-pointers made stands at two games.

Kyle Korver's 3-point streak ends at 127 gms | 03/06/2014 12:59 AM

News

Kyle Korver was 1-of-9 from the field and 0-for-5 from downtown at Portland on Wednesday, ending his streak of 127 straight games with a 3-pointer made.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

Korver was benched for the entire fourth quarter, which will raise some questions and debate. But our guess is the coaching staff was tired of dealing with the streak and possibly feeling like they had to run plays for Korver to keep it alive, even when it might not be appropriate. It's also on Korver, as he played 28 minutes and took five attempts at it tonight, and the Hawks were down by 24 heading into the final quarter. This was Korver's first game without a trey since Nov. of 2012, and Stephen Curry is your new leader, hitting a 3-pointer in 50 straight games. Korver didn't look thrilled to see it end, but hey, it was a great run and he finished 38 games ahead of Dana Barros, the player he passed to set the record.

Kyle Korver stays hot in loss to Boston | 02/26/2014 10:32 PM

News

Kyle Korver hit 6-of-9 shots and four more 3-pointers for 17 points, two rebounds and a steal.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

He went through a five-game stretch of scoring in single digits, but has busted out of the funk, hitting double figures in scoring in five of his last six games since then. He's also hit at least two 3-pointers in 10 straight games.

Kyle Korver hits five 3-pointers in loss | 02/18/2014 9:44 PM

News

Kyle Korver hit 7-of-10 shots and five 3-pointers for 19 points, four rebounds, five assists and a steal in Tuesday's loss.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

After scoring nine or fewer points in five straight games, Korver finally put up a fat stat line tonight. DeMarre Carroll should be back later this week, but owners have to hope that Korver got some nice rest over the break and is ready to start putting up lines like this on a regular basis going forward, as he was struggling before the All-Star break.

Kyle Korver slips pre-game, will start | 02/12/2014 7:11 PM

News

Kyle Korver slipped on the court before Wednesday's game, but will start against the Raptors.

Chris Vivlamore on Twitter

Impact

That was a close one. Korver was "questionable" for about one minute in real time and hopefully the Hawks will have him at full strength. We'll let you know how he looks tonight.

Kyle Korver scores 24 in Hawks win | 02/01/2014 11:22 PM

News

Kyle Korver hit 7-of-9 shots and three more 3-pointers for 24 points, four rebounds, three assists and a block as the Hawks beat the Timberwolves on Saturday.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

Korver's not the most prolific scorer around, but has hit double figures in four straight games. He's hit a 3-pointer in 115 straight games and has hit three of them in each of his last four games. While his 24 points wasn't a season high (28), it did mark just the sixth time he's topped the 20-point plateau this season.

Kyle Korver stays hot in win over Magic | 01/22/2014 10:26 PM

News

Kyle Korver hit 5-of-11 shots and two 3-pointers for 12 points, five rebounds, seven assists, a steal and a block in Wednesday's win.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

He's not going to blow you away with his scoring, but he's have a very good week, averaging 12.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 2.5 3-pointers over his last two games.

Kyle Korver extends 3-point streak to 108 gms | 01/16/2014 5:35 PM

News

Kyle Korver made a late 3-pointer to extend his NBA-best streak to 108 games with at least one make from downtown, but he finished with just three points on 1-of-9 shooting.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

The Hawks trailed by 25 points after three quarters and none of their starters played more than Paul Millsap's 29 minutes in the blowout. Fantasy owners who suffered through a lousy one-game week from Atlanta can take solace in their upcoming four-game schedule.

Kyle Korver held to single-digits in defeat | 01/12/2014 8:56 PM

News

Kyle Korver had nine points, seven rebounds, five assists, two steals and two turnovers in 34 minutes on Sunday, but it wasn't enough for the Hawks to earn a win in Memphis.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

This marks Korver's fifth single-digit scoring performance in the past seven games, though he did go 1-of-2 from downtown to improve his NBA-best streak from beyond the arc. He also has at least one steal in 12 consecutive games and he's averaging 4.4 rebounds and 3.4 assists in January, so his fantasy owners should be willing to overlook a temporary dip in his scoring.

Kyle Korver scores 20 points w/ four triples | 12/26/2013 11:27 PM

News

Kyle Korver made four 3-pointers on his way to 20 points, six boards, five assists, one steal and two turnovers on 7-of-15 shooting against the Cavs on Thursday.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

He attempted a season-high 12 shots from downtown while logging his highest minutes total. If DeMarre Carroll (thumb) needs to miss time, Korver will likely be part of the solution to replace DC's 30.4 minutes per game. His 3-point prowess is giving him third-round value this season and there's no reason to think he can't keep it up.

Kyle Korver hits eight 3-pointers in win | 12/19/2013 2:07 AM

News

Kyle Korver got hot and hit seven straight 3-pointers to help the Hawks bury the Kings, and finished with a season-high 28 points, four rebounds, two assists, a steal and eight 3-pointers.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

If there was a night to have Korver in your lineup, this was it. He's hit a 3-pointer in 95 straight games now and has scored in double figures in four straight games, but this was just his third game of the season with at least 20 points in a game.

Kyle Korver tacks on four more triples | 12/13/2013 11:21 PM

News

Kyle Korver made four 3-pointers of his 6-of-13 attempts from the field on Friday for 16 points with four boards, three assists and two steals in 39 minutes.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

He's rolling since returning from his rib injury with averages of 14.5 points, 3.5 boards, 3.3 assists, 0.8 steals and 3.3 triples in four games. There aren't many players in the Eastern Conference that can rack up treys like Korver and he is a must-start player in standard formats.

Korver breaks 3-point record on Friday | 12/07/2013 1:46 AM

News

Kyle Korver broke Dana Barros' record for consecutive games with a 3-pointer, as he hit a triple for his 90th straight game and finished with 10 points, one rebound and two assists.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

Owners may want to secretly root for him to snap the streak so he can keep from pressing, but then again as long as he's hitting he's probably doing his job for owners in the first place. We just don't want to see a bunch of empty lines like this as he tries to improve on his record.

Kyle Korver could set 3-point record on Fri | 12/06/2013 9:31 AM

News

Kyle Korver could break the record for consecutive games with a 3-pointer on Friday, as he is currently tied with Dana Barros at 89 games.

Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Impact

Should Korver break the record on Friday, the Hawks organization plan to acknowledge the feat. Korver has been shooting 53 percent from the floor and 51 percent from deep this season, and with Lou Williams being brought along very slowly from knee surgery, the good times should continue to roll for Korver's owners as he remains the uncontested starting SG in ATL.

Kyle Korver ties record, hits six treys | 12/04/2013 11:07 PM

Kyle Korver returned from his rib injury and hit six 3-pointers and 8-of-12 shots for a season-high 23 points, three rebounds and five assists, tying Dana Barros by hitting a 3-pointer in 89 straight games.

Impact

Korver had missed over a week with his injury, but looked great tonight and will try to break the record on Friday against the Cavaliers, who tend to be generous against opposing guards.

Kyle Korver will start on Wednesday night | 12/04/2013 5:57 PM

News

Kyle Korver will get the start against the Clippers on Wednesday night.

Chris Vivlamore on Twitter

Impact

He's missed over a week with a rib injury and shouldn't be very limited in his return. Korver will attempt to tie the record for most consecutive games with a 3-pointer. He was putting up terrific fantasy value with his 2.5 triples per game and his fantasy owners should have no qualms about putting him back into their lineups tonight. Lou Williams moves back to the bench tonight.

Kyle Korver (ribs) probable to play Wednesday | 12/04/2013 11:17 AM

News

Kyle Korver (ribs) has been upgraded to 'probable' for Wednesday's game.

Chris Vivlamore on Twitter

Impact

This clears the way for Korver to play vs. the Clippers after missing the past four games, though owners should confirm his status before tip-off. Lou Williams will come off the bench once Korver returns at SG, and Cartier Martin will go back to playing a bit role.

Kyle Korver still 'day-to-day' with injury | 12/02/2013 7:17 PM

News

Kyle Korver is still day-to-day, according to coach Mike Budenholzer.

Chris Vivlamore on Twitter

Impact

The coach did say Korver could return "soon." That's not too telling, but it does open up the possibility of Korver returning to the lineup on Wednesday. His high output in 3-pointers with some steals, points and great percentages make his game one of the better non-headlining players to have on fantasy teams. Lou Williams should continue to start while Cartier Martin will also get extra minutes.

Kyle Korver (ribs) out again Monday vs. Spurs | 12/02/2013 12:08 PM

News

Kyle Korver (ribs) will sit out Monday's game vs. the Spurs, moving Lou Williams into the starting lineup.

Jabari Young on Twitter

Impact

This makes four consecutive DNPs for Korver, whose absence has allowed Lou Williams and Cartier Martin to alternate starts at SG. The Hawks play three times this week, so Korver may still have a two-game slate if he returns for Wednesday's home game vs. the Clippers.

Kyle Korver out Saturday versus Wizards | 11/30/2013 12:17 PM

Kyle Korver (ribs) will not play Saturday against the Wizards.

Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Impact

Korver did not travel with the team to Washington DC. This does not rule him out of rejoining the Hawks in San Antonio on Monday, presenting difficulties for owners in weekly league formats. In Korver's place, Cartier Martin started on Wednesday and Lou Williams started on Friday. Either player could contribute to threes, the gamble is who will start.

This will likely give Cartier Martin another start, and he makes for an interesting play for owners seeking some treys as he's shown he can be productive when given the minutes.

Kyle Korver (ribs) and Shelvin Mack (ankle) were both participants in Friday's shootaround, but it's still unknown if they'll play tonight.

Chris Vivlamore on Twitter

Impact

We don't know how much they were able to do in practice, but expect to have more information this afternoon. If Korver and Mack are both out, Cartier Martin will likely start, while Dennis Schroder would see a bigger role as the primary back up point guard for Jeff Teague.

Kyle Korver (bruised ribs) did not travel with the Hawks to Houston for Wednesday's game.

Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Impact

The Hawks play at home on Friday, so hopefully this will be Korver's only DNP. Cartier Martin and Dennis Schroder both figure to pick up more minutes in his absence but it's unclear who will fill in as a starter. In case you're keeping an eye on Korver's pursuit of the NBA record for consecutive games with a 3-pointer, his absence won't affect his 88-game streak.

Kyle Korver on vege of breaking record | 11/26/2013 10:39 AM

News

In addition to having a stellar fantasy season, Kyle Korver is now just two games away from tying Dana Barros' record for hitting a 3-pointer in 89 consecutive games.

USA Today

Impact

The streak started back on Nov. 4, 2012, which means it's been over a year since he's played a game and not hit a triple. He'll try to keep the streak alive on Tuesday and Wednesday against the Magic and Rockets, and then break it on Friday night against the Mavs.

Kyle Korver quiet but effective again on Sat. | 11/23/2013 10:47 PM

News

Kyle Korver quietly had an efficient game on Saturday, scoring nine points with one 3-pointer, four rebounds, three assists, two steals and one turnover in 32 minutes.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

Korver rarely makes the highlight reel and his stats won't blow away fantasy owners, especially when he mixes in single-digit scoring games like tonight. He's shooting lights out this season, however, including 52.9 percent from downtown, and he's getting just enough rebounds (4.4), assists (2.5) and steals (1.1) to have top-40 value in eight- and nine-cat roto leagues. Yes, you read that correctly.

Kyle Korver hits four 3-pointers on Friday | 11/23/2013 1:46 AM

News

Kyle Korver made four 3-pointers on his way to 14 points with three rebounds, two assists and one turnover.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

He has now hit a 3-pointer in 86 consecutive games and he has nine games in a row with multiple triples. He's cruising right now and there's no reason to think he won't be able to match his 2.6 triples per game from last season, and he may improve in other areas, as well.

Kyle Korver six games away from record | 11/16/2013 10:50 PM

News

Kyle Korver hit 5-of-11 shots and three more 3-pointers for 15 points, four rebounds and one assist as he kept his streak alive, hitting a 3-pointer in his 83rd consecutive game.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

He's just six games away from the record and didn't have to worry about Lou Williams slowing his roll tonight, as he got the night off after making his debut on Wednesday. We doubt Williams offers too much of a threat to Korver. Even if Williams eventually starts, which is far from guaranteed, it will likely be DeMarre Carroll that goes to the bench.

Korver in 2nd for consecutive games w/ 3s | 11/11/2013 10:16 PM

News

Kyle Korver hit two 3-point shots and finished with 11 points in Monday's win over the Bobcats, taking over sole possession of second place on the NBA's all-time list for consecutive games with a made 3-pointer.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

Next up is Dana Barros at 89 straight games and he's got a great shot at breaking the record with how much he is relied upon by the Hawks. Korver added three rebounds, two assists and two steals to round out his night. Jeff Teague went for 14 and 12, Al Horford scored 24 points with five rebounds and four assists, and Paul Millsap finally cooled off with nine points, five rebounds, a three and a block.

Kyle Korver hit 6-of-10 shots and two 3-pointers for 14 points, eight rebouds, five assists and a steal in Saturday's win over the Magic.

Impact

Korver hit a late three that proved to be the dagger and is averaging 15.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.6 steals, 0.8 blocks and 3.2 3-pointers over his last five games. And as long as he can stay healthy, Korver should do this all season long.

Kyle Korver turns in an eight-category line | 11/07/2013 11:40 PM

Kyle Korver shot 6-of-10 from the field and made both of his free throw attempts for 16 points to go with five boards, four assists, two steals, two blocks and two 3-pointers in 34 minutes on Thursday.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

There's a bit of a misconception about Korver and how he's just a shooter, and that's simply not the case. In just 30.5 minutes per game last season, he had 0.9 steals, 4.0 boards and 0.5 blocks on 46.1 percent from the field and 85.9 percent from the line. His minutes are up and tonight's eight-category line just serves as another example that he's a must-start guy in standard leagues.

Kyle Korver hit 3-of-4 shots and another 3-pointer on Tuesday, but finished with just nine points, one rebound and one assist in 32 minutes.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

Korver has been on fire and has hit 13 3-pointers in just four games. He'll score more than this on most night and looks like a solid starter at G/F in fantasy leagues, as long as he can stay healthy. Don't be scared away from tonight's quiet game.

Kyle Korver hits six 3-pointers, scores 22 | 11/04/2013 12:06 AM

News

Kyle Korver made all six attempts from 3-point range on Sunday, scoring 22 points with two rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block in 37 minutes against the Lakers.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

He knocked down five triples in his last game and he's shaping up to be one of the best players for 3-point production this side of Stephen Curry. Korver played 35 and 36 minutes in his first two games and is locked in as the Hawks main outside threat. He's a good bet to repeat his productive 2012-13 season.

Kyle Korver hit just 3-of-11 shots, but hit two 3-pointers and finished with nine points and nine rebounds.

He's having a nice preseason and is fully healthy, meaning he should make for a solid starting shooting guard in fantasy leagues - as long as he can stay healthy.

Impact

The Hawks were missing a lot of players on the perimeter on Thursday and Korver was left open for much of the game. He had a laceration on his chin and received stitches, but he's obviously good to go. The sharpshooting wing was second in the league in 3-pointers per game last year and has a chance to be in the top five again this year.

Kyle Korver has been starting at SG during training camp.

Chris Vivlamore on Twitter

Impact

Assuming Korver sticks at SG, John Jenkins will serve as a backup and his fantasy outlook will dim considerably. Korver's fantasy outlook remains unchanged and he'll be an excellent source of 3-pointers with a dash of points, rebounds and steals. Even if Jenkins or (eventually) Lou Williams take over the SG spot, Korver would likely become the starting SF.

Hawks get Kyle Korver on four-year deal | 07/03/2013 9:08 PM

News

The Hawks and Kyle Korver agreed on a four-year, $24 million deal on Wednesday.

Marc Stein on Twitter

Impact

The $24 million is an estimation and Korver getting even close to $6 million per year over four years is an increase from the $5 million he was paid last season. Korver shot a ridiculous 45.7 percent from downtown last year and led the Eastern Conference in 3-point makes. The Hawks could be a little thinner in their rotation and Korver may have a shot to duplicate his production from last season.

Report: Bucks offer Korver three years, $20m | 07/03/2013 10:12 AM

News

The Bucks are reportedly offering Kyle Korver a three-year, $20 million contract.

Marc Stein on Twitter

Impact

Major windfalls like this reported Bucks offer have eliminated the cap-constrained Nets as an option for Korver. Perimeter shooters are being snatched up quickly in free agency and it's no surprise that teams are aggressively pursuing KK, who knocked down 45.7 percent of his 3-pointers last season, second in the NBA behind Jose Calderon.

On Monday morning it seemed like Korver would sign with Brooklyn, due to circumstantial Tweets from Deron Williams and Korver's brother, but Broussard reports that the Nets don't have enough money available to satisfy him. After watching Martell Webster and Chase Budinger each sign for $5+ million per season, it's not too surprising that Korver is re-thinking his options.

D-Will's tweets suggest Korver joining Nets? | 07/01/2013 12:51 AM

News

A series of Tweets from Deron Williams suggest that Kyle Korver may have informally agreed to sign with the Brooklyn Nets.

Deron Williams on Twitter

Impact

There are no hard reports that Korver has agreed, as of yet, but Deron Williams began following Korver on Twitter shortly after midnight, then responded "NETS" to a Tweet from Korver's brother. It's circumstantial but it also makes sense, and we shouldn't have to wait long for confirmation one way or the other.

News

According to ESPN New York, the Nets are interested in Kyle Korver.

The Nets are interested in everyone. Brooklyn can only offer so much in free agency with their roster as it's constructed, and Korver will easily price himself out of the Nets market. Consider this a long shot at best.

Kyle Korver's name has been floated as a possibility, and he'd make a lot of sense. We expect the Pacers to upgrade a bench in need of it, and an improved bench would elevate Indiana's chances of competing in the Eastern Conference.

The Hawks and unrestricted free agent Kyle Korver have a mutual interest in bringing Korver back to the team.

The team said they'd like to work something out with Korver, and the sharpshooter said he "really enjoyed my year here in Atlanta." Korver gave a very strong endorsement, saying "I like the same basketball that he [GM Danny Ferry] likes. I'm very open to coming back here." Korver will be in high demand in free agency, and with the Hawks needing to remake their entire roster, it's unclear what Korver's future holds.

Hawks would like to bring back Kyle Korver | 05/06/2013 8:52 AM

The Hawks have "indicated" that they'd like to re-sign Kyle Korver.

Chris Vivlamore on Twitter

Impact

Atlanta is rich with cap space and will be entering a huge offseason, and keeping Korver on a reasonable deal seems like a beneficial move for both sides. However, Korver will be in demand after nailing 2.6 3-pointers per game and doing so at a 45.7 percent clip, so the Hawks could just as easily lose him to another team.

Kyle Korver a candidate in Denver? | 05/03/2013 3:00 PM

The Denver Post suggests impending free agent Kyle Korver could be a target for the Nuggets.

Denver Post

Impact

The Nuggets are desperate for some outside shooting, even if Danilo Gallinari (torn ACL) surprisingly makes it back for the start of the 2013-14 season. Korver would make a ton of sense, but he's going to attract plenty of attention. One of the game's premier riflemen, Korver tied for second in 3-pointers made per game (2.6) and ranked second in 3-point percentage (45.7).

Korver scored 19 points with five boards, one assist, one steal, one block and five 3-pointers while Tolliver hit three from deep for nine points. Atlanta's bench outscored Indiana's 30-19 and they also shot a sterling 45.8 percent from deep tonight. Al Horford was his usual solid self wiht 18 points, five boards, four assists, one steal and one block in 30 minutes.

The Hawks will rest Kyle Korver in Wednesday's regular-season finale.

Hawks on Twitter

Impact

Korver recently missed a game for undisclosed reasons but tonight's night off is likely a symptom of the Hawks wanting to get healthy before the postseason begins. Korver's incredible 3-pointers streak of at 74 straight games with at least one triple will have to wait until the playoffs. DeShawn Stevenson will start.

Kyle Korver's streak of single-digit scoring games ended in grand fashion, as he lit up the Knicks for 25 points on 9-of-14 shooting, including a 6-of-10 mark from downtown.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

He even had six rebounds, one steal and two blocks with zero turnovers, a rare eight-cat gem for Korver, who hadn't scored more than nine points since March 18. His big game was due partly to Devin Harris' absence with a sore foot, and Korver's owners should keep an eye on the Hawks' injury report.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

He started out well enough tonight, but quickly picked up a few fouls and found himself bench in favor of Anthony Tolliver (eight points in 29 minutes). Korver now has seven straight games with single-digit scoring, the result of both lousy shooting and fluctuating playing time.

Kyle Korver hit three 3-pointers for nine points with five boards, three assists, one steal and two turnovers in 33 minutes on Sunday.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

It was the 63rd game in a row with a triple and Korver has been shooting the lights out all season. He's making a ridiculous 46 percent from downtown and should be owned in all leagues that count treys.

That makes 61 straight games with a 3-pointer for Korver, who has now started four straight games for Atlanta.

Impact

It's not even funny how unbelievably good Korver has been from downtown this year. It was his 58th game in a row with a triple and he raised his 3-point percentage to 45.9 percent on the season. He's one of the reasons that today's report of J.J. Redick getting a five-year, $40 million deal doesn't make much sense.

Kyle Korver hit just 1-of-5 shots (a 3-pointer) for three points in just 19 minutes of Tuesday's ugly loss to the Heat.

Korver was on fire in late January, serviceable in February and has disappeared in March, failing to score more than nine points in any of his last four games. Just know that he could get hot at any time, especially if Larry Drew keeps giving him minutes. Before tonight, he'd played more than 30 minutes in eight of his previous nine games, but just hasn't been taking as many shots as he was when things were going well. Drop him at your own risk.

Korver has been very consistent this season and though he had just nine points on Wednesday, owners should run and pick him up if an opposing owner drops him in standard formats. That said, we'll keep an eye on his recent toe injury to see if there is anything to be concerned about.

The good news is that the toe issue that kept Korver out on Monday didn't appear to be an issue and he came out flame-throwing against his former team. The bad news is that the Sixers clamped down in the second half and gave him no airspace. Still, Korver has now played at least 30 minutes in each of his last seven games. With that kind of playing time, he's a legit threat to lead the league in 3-pointers made the rest of the way.
